Chapter 223 Acting Mayor and Mayor
If Liu He could hear the conversation between Zhang Jinchi and Ge Honghui in Linjiang City, his pace would be much more steady in the future, but unfortunately, he did not have the ability to let the wind down, so he was destined to laugh wildly and plan his next step.
In Luzhuang City, when Chen Ping went to find Liu He, Concubine Xiao also called Liu He's office.
Liu He answered the phone and said to Xiao Shufei in a joking tone: "Don't you know what work arrangements are there for Secretary Xiao calling me?"
Xiao Shufei said: "Mayor Liu, I heard that Secretary Zhang of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone submitted a policy plan on further utilizing the remaining funds of the financing platform to you?"
"I didn't expect that Mayor Chen is really like a child who is sipping. Once something unpleasant, he cried and called to look for his parents." Liu He shook his head with a chuckle.
"Mayor Liu, I hope you can tell your current identity. I am talking to Mayor Liu about work with Mayor Liu. I hope Mayor Liu will not have such a frivolous attitude." said Concubine Xiao Shu.
Liu He was extremely unhappy about Concubine Xiao's seriousness, because he thought Concubine Xiao should be very gentle to him, rather than indifference. However, on the surface, he still pretended to be nothing. He replied to Concubine Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Xiao, I've lost my composure just now. Please allow me to answer your question again. Indeed, Secretary Zhang of the Development Zone gave me a policy plan on the utilization of the remaining funds of the financing platform, and I have now sent it to the Municipal Government Office for them to start making modifications."
"Mayor Liu, don't you think your approach is a bit inappropriate? After all, the current positioning of the financing platform is only an economic assistance, not an overly radical institution." Concubine Xiao Shu said.
Liu He asked back without answering, "Secretary Xiao, as the mayor of Luzhuang, can I ask me to say a few words?"
Concubine Xiao didn't know what Liu He was going to say, but she still said, "Okay, Mayor Liu, please tell me."
"Thank you Secretary Xiao," said Liu He. "Secretary Xiao is like this. If I'm not mistaken, Mayor Chen should have reported to Secretary Xiao as I had just talked with him, right?"
"Mayor Liu, this has no connection with the question I asked you," said Concubine Xiao Shu.
"No, my opinion is exactly the opposite of Secretary Xiao," said Liu He. "Secretary Xiao, I think that although this financing platform was established and dominated by Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen is too conservative in the development and utilization of financing platforms. I think the financing platform should not be just a bank intermediary that provides loans, but should become the mainstay of local economic development."
Concubine Xiao sneered and asked back, "So Mayor Liu feels that the remaining funds from the financing platform should be invested in government projects?"
Liu He said: "That's right. I think that only by investing all the funds in the financing platform into the market as much as possible can the financing platform play the role of the financing platform in driving local economic development to the greatest extent."
"Did Mayor Liu ever think that such a large amount of money would be rashly invested in economic development, which would create a bubble economy. Just like the housing bubble in the South China Sea area back then, it would not only not have any effect on driving the economy, but would instead raise prices and increase the pain index of people's lives? In addition, it would also cause the government to bear huge debts that were overwhelmed?" Xiao Shufei asked.
"Secretary Xiao, I think this logic is not true," said Liu He. "Before I came to Luzhuang City, I consulted economic experts from the provincial capital Linjiang City. They all think that my policy is feasible. As for the things you are worried about, it will not happen."
Concubine Xiao Shufei said: "Mayor Liu, I hope that as the mayor of Luzhuang, you must have the basic qualities of mayors and do not wantonly fabricate facts and commit fraud."
Liu He said: "Don't worry about Secretary Xiao, this is what I have to say. I am definitely responsible for what I say."
"Since Mayor Liu said that, I have nothing to say, but I still have to tell Mayor Liu that the municipal party committee has a leadership and supervision role in government organizations. If some municipal government policies will have a certain impact on the economy of Luzhuang City, I will ask the municipal party committee to reassess these policies." Xiao Shufei said.
"Of course, the municipal government must work under the leadership of the municipal party committee, so the municipal party committee is also welcome to supervise the municipal government's policies," Liu He said, then changed the subject and continued, "But the municipal government also has its own policy power."
Hearing Liu He say this, Xiao Shufei asked him meaningfully, "Mayor Liu means that he wants to challenge the municipal party committee?"
"How dare I? Secretary Xiao is our squad leader, and as the mayor, I also have to work under the leadership of Secretary Xiao, so I will definitely not be afraid of challenging. I just..."
Before Liu He finished speaking, Concubine Xiao said, "Then I won't disturb Mayor Liu's work, goodbye."
After saying that, Concubine Xiao hung up the phone, and seemed to not take Liu He as the mayor seriously, which made Liu He very annoyed. However, perhaps Liu He had experienced too many stories of being ignored in the past few days, so his psychological quality was trained. This time he did not move too fiercely. He just smashed the phone hard on the table before putting it back to its original place.
Let’s wait, Concubine Xiao Shu and Chen Ping, when I complete the layout that Governor Zhang explains, let’s see why you cry and beg me for mercy!
Liu He thought so in his mind, and then picked up the phone and dialed the number of Shi Baolian, director of the Municipal Government Office. Soon Shi Baolian's voice came: "Hello Mayor Liu."
Compared to Concubine Xiao Shufei and Chen Ping, Liu He prefers to speak to these subordinates. There is no other reason. Only these subordinates in the entire Luzhuang can help him find the feeling that he is a leader.
Liu He said to Shi Baolian very arrogantly: "Director Shi, I don't know how the policy document on the financing platform I handed you over to you, how has the Municipal Government Office been revised?"
"Of course, I treat him as the most important work of the Municipal Government Office," Shi Baolian said, and then continued in a dilemma. "It's just that Mayor Liu's request is very different from the purpose of the financing platform when it was originally established, so I'm worried that such modifications will be difficult to implement."
Shi Baolian's answer made Liu He frown in displeasure immediately, and he said: "Director Shi, I have to say, your idea is very good, but don't you think you are thinking too much? My request is just that you need to modify this policy document according to the requirements I need. Other issues are not what you need to consider. Do you understand?"
As the director of the Municipal Government Office, Shi Baolian certainly understood Liu He's mood at this time, so he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Mayor Liu, I'm talking too much. I will definitely keep my work direction in mind in the future and never overturn my work responsibilities."
Liu He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Director Shi is also an old cadre in the Municipal Government Office. I believe Director Shi can do it, so I don't know how the document is being revised?"
"It's like this Mayor Liu. I will have to complete the tasks assigned by Mayor Liu as soon as possible for this document the day after tomorrow." Shi Baolian said.
"Why are you going to the day after tomorrow?" Liu He said with some dissatisfaction.
Shi Baolian hurriedly explained: "Mayor Liu, this is the fastest speed. Our municipal government office is not careless about the tasks assigned by Mayor Liu! No matter what the process is, it must be carefully selected."
"Okay, I understand. I didn't say that you are not serious about your work. In short, just do it as soon as possible." Liu He said.
Then, as Shi Baolian thanked him for a lot of thanks, Liu He hung up the phone.
Since Shi Bao even can only do it after the day after tomorrow, Liu He is not in a hurry to urge him. In fact, even Shi Bao even gave him too early, it would not be of much help. Even Liu He himself did not believe it by defeating Concubine Xiao Shufei and Chen Ping with just a financing platform. So since the policy documents have not been released so quickly, Liu He can just focus his energy on other aspects.
As a mayor, Liu He had to do the first thing he had to do was naturally to establish his own faction and win over a group of subordinates who supported him. Otherwise, he would be a commander alone, even if you are the secretary of the municipal party committee, no one would miss you. And he had previously threatened and tempted Zhang Yanhua, the secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone, which was actually because of this reason.
Now, since Liu He has already brought Zhang Yanhua to his side, it is a very obvious weather vane for the entire Luzhuang officialdom.
After all, everyone in the Luzhuang officialdom knows that Concubine Xiao Shufei and Chen Ping revitalize the Luzhuang economy. This financing platform is their most important weight. However, now this weight is easily controlled by Liu He. So isn't it said that even though Liu He is new, he still firmly gains the upper hand in the competition with Concubine Xiao Shufei and Chen Ping?
Under the guidance of this mentality, and Liu He was originally the mayor, many officials of the Luzhuang Municipal Government gradually turned to Liu He through reporting work, and among these officials, Zhang Yanhua was obviously the most attentive one.
When the Municipal Government Office revised the documents and handed them over to Liu He, Zhang Yanhua came to him to report his work.
When Liu He saw Zhang Yanhua, he couldn't help but tease him: "Secretary Zhang is really in time! Director Shi gave me the documents and you came over. I really doubt if you communicated with Director Shi."
Facing Liu He's words, Zhang Yanhua's expression seemed a little embarrassed. Liu He laughed at Zhang Yanhua's expression and said, "Okay, just kidding you, Secretary Zhang doesn't have to be so nervous."
Zhang Yanhua then let out a long sigh and said, "Mayor Liu, you are scaring me to death. I really think Mayor Liu, you suspect that I have any intersection with the Municipal Government Office on your back! If that happens, I can't even wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River!"
Liu He waved his hand and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is. After all, you are living in this officialdom, I can understand."
"Mayor Liu, you are such an enlightened leader." Zhang Yanhua praised.
"Don't say anything about these useless things," Liu He said, then pointed to the documents in front of him and continued to say to Liu He, "These are the documents modified by the Municipal Government Office according to my wishes. I have read all of them. There is no problem. Take them back and implement them as soon as possible according to the above requirements."
Listening to Liu He's words, Zhang Yanhua subconsciously wanted to reach out to get the documents, but after thinking about it, hesitated for a while. Seeing that Zhang Yanhua was hesitating, Liu He couldn't help but ask him: "What's wrong with Secretary Zhang? Is there any problem?"
Zhang Yanhua woke up as if he was dreaming, and then hurriedly said to Liu He: "Mayor Liu is very sorry, that's it. I just thought that Secretary Xiao is not satisfied with our approach, so if we do it directly, the Municipal Party Committee will definitely interfere. If we want this policy to be avoided in any interference, I think it is best to report to the superior municipal party committee for approval. As long as it is approved by the superior municipal party committee organization, I believe that it will be much more convenient to implement the policy."
Faced with Zhang Yanhua's suggestion, Liu He suddenly fell into deep thought. When Zhang Yanhua saw this situation, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Mayor Liu, I'm talking too much."
Liu He glanced at Zhang Yanhua and said, "It doesn't matter. Actually, Secretary Zhang, you said it very well, and I also agree with your statement."
Zhang Yanhua was overjoyed and said to Liu He: "Thank you for your praise. It is my job to share your worries and relieve your work!"
After saying that, Zhang Yanhua took out another box and handed it to Liu He. He opened it. It was an exquisite watch inside and said to Liu He: "Mayor Liu, this is a Rolex watch my friend brought me back from abroad. I saw that it was exquisite in style and noble in style, so I should be matched with a leader like Mayor Liu, so I decided to give this watch to Mayor Liu."
Looking at the watch, Liu He frowned again and said, "Secretary Zhang, why are you doing this again? Didn't you tell you last time? Your behavior is to encourage unhealthy trends and wrong behaviors. Why don't you repent?"
"But Mayor Liu, this is my intention, and the price of this watch is not expensive. It was brought back by my friend from abroad and it is not a bribe! Mayor Liu doesn't want this watch, but he just looks down on my wishes, so I have no shame to get this watch back." Zhang Yanhua said with a embarrassed expression.
"Secretary Zhang, why are you like this? Isn't this embarrassing your leader?" Liu He said.
Zhang Yanhua said: "Mayor Liu, I also know that this will make you embarrassed, but this is indeed my respect for you and my dedication!"
Liu He then sighed and said, "Okay, you can just put it here, but I won't be the case!"
Zhang Yanhua then said happily: "It must be true, no one will be the case!"
...
Through the Q&A with Zhang Yanhua, Liu He also felt that if the policy was launched so directly, he would definitely be obstructed by Concubine Xiao Shufei and Chen Ping, but if he could get the approval of the superior municipal party committee, it would be relatively easier to implement it yourself.
So, after talking to Zhang Yanhua, Liu He personally brought the documents to the superior Dongwu Municipal Party Committee and found Tao Guangrong, Secretary-General of the Dongwu Municipal Party Committee. He said to Tao Guangrong: "I took the liberty to disturb Secretary-General Tao today. I have a document that needs to be approved by the Municipal Party Committee so that our Luzhuang Municipal Government can carry out the work of the documents."
Tao Guangrong looked at Liu He curiously and said, "Mayor Liu, if there are policy documents that require approval and filing, the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee Office should report to our Municipal Party Committee Office through formal channels, right? How can you, the mayor, come to the person in person?"
Regarding this, Liu He said embarrassedly: "Secretary General Tao, you are not afraid of laughing at me when you say something. Secretary Tao should also know that I am the mayor of Luzhuang who has just taken office. Now I hope to use the financing platform to stimulate the economic development of Luzhuang as much as possible. However, this financing platform was established by Secretary Xiao and Mayor Chen. Their concept is a bit conservative, and I am afraid that they will not accept my proposal, so I thought of coming to the superior municipal party committee to apply for approval first, and I came in person to represent my personal respect for Secretary Tao."
"Mayor Liu is really intent," said Tao Guangrong. "But although I can understand Mayor Liu's good intentions, I still can't help Mayor Liu approve the documents today."
Liu He asked in surprise: "Why is Secretary Tao? Did I say something wrong? "
Tao Guangrong waved his hand and said, "This is not the case. Although Mayor Liu's approach is a bit too much, he treats special things and it seems that Mayor Liu's approach is understandable, but I still want to remind Mayor Liu of several questions here."
"Okay, please tell me Secretary-General Tao." Liu He said.
Tao Guangrong then asked Liu He: "Mayor Liu, if I remember correctly, you are the Mayor Luzhuang appointed by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, right?"
Liu He nodded, and then Tao Guangrong said again: "When will the Luzhuang People's Congress be held?"
"It's next month."
After answering Tao Guangrong's question, Liu He immediately understood what he meant. Since the People's Congress had not been held yet, even if he was an official appointed by the central government, he could only be the acting mayor rather than the official mayor. Therefore, although he had the title of mayor and his power was the same, there were still some restrictions on the acting mayor in many major decisions about the municipal government.
Through Liu He's expression, Tao Guangrong knew that he had understood, so he continued to say to him: "Mayor Liu, I know you want to do things for Luzhuang, but some things are unhurried. In this way, after the Luzhuang People's Congress is held next month and you are elected as the mayor of Luzhuang, you will come here with this document and I will help you to approve the fastest. Do you think it's okay?"
"Thank you, Secretary-General Tao, I understand."
Liu He said so happily, but he never expected that this person was in an election, an unexpected surprise occurred when he was in the election.
Chapter completed!
